Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1585

So this was what being in a relationship felt like?

No wonder so many people loved dating. It was amazing.

"My mom is still making breakfast," Janet whispered like a thief. "I'll come down as soon as I'm done washing up."

"Okay."

Melvin replied. After hanging up, he entered the apartment complex and headed straight for the top floor.

—

After washing up.

Janet grabbed her backpack and walked into the living room, trying to look perfectly innocent. "Mom, I just remembered I have a paper to finish. I'm going to grab breakfast at school."

"Is it that urgent?" Saskia poked her head out from the kitchen.

Janet always finished her assignments ahead of time. She rarely crammed on the day of.

"V-Very urgent."

Janet was terrible at lying, especially to her mother.

"Alright then." Saskia didn't entirely buy it but let it go. "Be careful on the way."

"Mhm."

After saying goodbye, Janet swung her backpack over her shoulders and practically skipped to the front door.

Saskia stood frozen, a look of suspicion slowly creeping over her face.

Was it just her, or was her daughter acting really weird lately?

—

Closing the door behind her.

As Janet walked toward the elevator, she pulled out her phone to reply to Melvin's text.

Melvin: [Let's play a game.]

Janet: [?]

Melvin: [As the ancients said: Close your eyes and count to five. If you open them and see me, it proves our love will last forever.]

Janet naturally didn't believe a word of it, but she couldn't help laughing: [Which ancient philosopher said that? I'd love to know!]

Melvin arched an eyebrow and smiled: [Philosopher Steele.]

Janet: "?"

She stared at the screen for a few seconds before realization hit, almost making her laugh out loud.

Just then.

The elevator doors suddenly opened, and Melvin's figure appeared right in front of her.

Thinking about it, it really had only been five seconds.

"Morning, Janet," Melvin said, waving his phone at her.

"You—"

Janet was about to speak when she suddenly heard the sound of a door unlatching behind her.
